Some of the biggest, brightest, and best playthings ever created can't hold a candle to toy stuffed animals. Silly putty was fun for about about a minute but after dreaming up every possible way in which the clay could be shaped and formed, that was the end of that. Etch-a-sketch was neat but you more wondered how the silvery display of rods that made the pictures, got inside the plastic box to begin with. The slinky had its moments but when it finally took a misstep and tumbled down the stairs in a heap of twisted wire, all interest was lost. Lego blocks taught us fine motor skills, but at a certain age, those motor skills eventually surpassed the allure of the blocks. Through the eyes of Barbie, we could envision what our futures might be like especially when Barbie was introduced to the public with a long list of careers. But, as we got older, Barbie just wasn't what she used to be and like many of our childhood toys, she was given away. Toy stuffed animals, on the other hand, are one of those things that come along but once in a lifetime; that special teddy bear that you painstakingly took the time to choose from the over abundance that sat on the store shelf. He had just the right face and just the right softness and most important of all, you fell in love at first sight.
That teddy bear you carefully chose, continued to be there for you when times were sad and when they were joyous. He was also the shoulder you cried on when you scraped your knee on the pavement or were rushed in for emergency surgery on your 25th birthday. He was the one that listened to you tell him that your best friend was having a 6th birthday party and for some reason you were not invited. And, he also listened when, at 30, your boyfriend broke up with you. Yes, toy stuffed animals are timeless.
You may have received your very first toy stuffed animal before you could even walk or talk. You may not have even known entirely what it was except that it always seemed to be with you in your crib, in your car seat, in your high chair, and, perched on a shelf watching over you as you took a bath. As you got older, those toy stuffed animals may have been buried on a shelf or in a box in the back of a closet somewhere. But, you never gave them away knowing that one day, when you were in need, you would dig out those toy stuffed animals once again and they would be there for you as they always were before.
